Saga Candle Sand

Candle sand is an innovative, plant-based wax in powder form that revolutionizes traditional candle making. Unlike regular candles, candle sand gives you the freedom to create personalized candles in any heat-resistant container - from elegant jars to your favorite vintage cups. The powder consists of high-quality vegetable wax and premium IFRA-certified fragrance oils, while the included cotton wicks ensure a clean, toxin-free burn.

What makes candle sand special is its versatility and reusability. You can create stunning multi-wick arrangements, floating candles, or refresh the same candle's appearance by simply shaking the sand and adding new wicks. Each wick burns for approximately 12 hours, and you can even relight the same wick multiple times. As an eco-friendly alternative to traditional candles, candle sand produces minimal waste while offering endless possibilities for creative candle making at home.

Candle sand works in a beautifully simple way. Just pour candle sand into your chosen heat-resistant container and place one or more cotton wicks inside. When lit, the wax powder gradually melts around the wick, creating a beautiful, even burn pool.

What makes candle sand unique is its refreshable nature. After burning, you can either continue using the same wick (each lasts about 12 hours) or create a fresh-looking candle by gently shaking the sand to smooth out the surface and inserting new wicks. You can even create floating candles by carefully pouring the sand on water's surface - just make sure to keep the wicks dry for best results.

For multi-wick arrangements, maintain at least 8cm distance between wicks to ensure proper burning. The possibilities are endless - whether you're creating intimate single-wick candles or stunning multi-wick centerpieces, candle sand adapts to your creative vision.

The amount of candle sand needed depends on your container size. As a general guide:

A small teacup (250ml/8.5 fl oz) needs about 140g/5 oz of sand
A medium jar (500ml/17 fl oz) needs about 280g/10 oz of sand
A large vessel (750ml/25 fl oz) needs about 420g/15 oz of sand

Remember that for multi-wick arrangements, ensure wicks are placed at least 8cm apart for optimal burning. If you're creating floating candles, you'll need enough sand to form a stable layer on the water's surface.
Pro tip: To calculate more precisely, multiply your container's volume in milliliters by 0.56 to estimate the grams of sand needed.
